Mr.. d. h. Ncyes from the special committee
reportedin 5be natter OF the mining ex-
change. He said that though the commit
tee does not approve of the establishment
here of mere rlining exchange, it believes,
however. thatthis is tho place. and probably
the time Tor the establishment under the hest
and most conservative influences OF u general
stock exchange, including, of course, mining
stocks for the Northwest, and that the need
OF such an exchange is a growing one. A
number of corporate stocks originated
in st. Paul, and others are Largely
owned and controlled here. st.
Paul is the financial and commercial capital
OF the Northwest and the only place in it for
such an exchange. While the chamber of
commerce cannot take the initiative in the
matter, the establishment Of a conservative
and general stock exchange In st. Paul will
meet its hearty approval. The report was
adopted. The Trades and Labor Assembly of
ST. Paul sent in communication asking in
substance that the st. Paul chamber of COM
merce should use it's influence TO have the
contracts for the plumbing, gas-tittlEg and
steam apparatus for the new court house
done in st. Paul, and the same was referred
TO the committee on court house. A resolu-
ton that the council be requested to order
the sprinkling of Seventh street. from Earl to
Victoria street, also all the streets on the ter
ritory bounded by and including the follow
ing portions of streets, viz: Third
street, Hoffman avenue. Cherry street,
Maria avenue, Westminster, Somerset,
Thirteenth, jackson, Cedar, Viola, Rice. lyle
hart, Kent, Lincoln, Ramsey, Sherman,
Franklin and Eagle streets, around Irvine
park, and University, Como, Western and
Pleasant avenues, excepting such streets, if
any, in the northwestern part of the territory
as should, in the judgment of said council, be
omitted.
The president reported that at meeting of
the perpetual members held on The gath inst.
it was resolved that certificates of indebted
ness of the chamber Of commerce to the
amount of Sl5,0U0 be issued for the purpose
of taking up the floating debt of the chamber,
the certificates to be $50 in number of 500
each, and to bear per cent. per annum in
terest, to be signed by the president and re-
corder of the chamber, to bear the corporate
seal of the chamber, and that each perpetual
member be requested to take one. Accom-
panying the presidents report was commu-
nication from Peter Berkey, the treasurer,
stating that the certificates were ready and
asking the perpetual members to come for
ward and take them.

4 Grand Production of Miss N8il.
fOrd's Tragedy by Lawrence Bar.
rett and His Efficient Company
A superb Stage Settimg.-1he An
dience Large, Critical and En-.
rhusiastic.
Both as regards its dramatic and its spec
tacuiar effects Lawrence Barrett's produc-
ton Of ''RienZi" is the acme of stage art.
The drama itself is masterpiece of tragic
work, deserving to stand alongside with
Shakespeare's productions, and in some re-
spects superior to ''Richelieu" and Fran
cesca." In his revival of ''Rienzi'' Mr.. Bar
rett has paid due regard to the modern taste
for scenic display, The play is beautifully
mounted, being the most gorgeous stage set
ting that has ever been seen i'll this city. The
chief scenes are view of Roman ruins in the
first act. the Tribune's palace in the second,
and the banquet hail and the cathedral in the
third and fourth acts. In his representation
Of 'RienZi'' the Tribune, MIR. Barrett has q
part which is unQuestionably his browning
achievement. 1t is a complex character,
which requires the highest ability to give a
successful interpretation, but is so admir-
ably adapted to Mr.. Barrett's methods
that he seems to have been born into it,
1t was large and critical audience
that Mr. Barrett played to last
night. With the characteristic caution OF
st. Paul audience, there was nothing dem
onstratlve until the convincing proof Of gen
ulne merit in both the play and the actor was
given. There was ample demonstration of
this before the first act was concluded, and
when the curtain dropped the first time there
was an ovation. From that time on until the
conclusion of the performance there was an
enthusiasm which is seldom seen in ST.
Paul theater, and which was not exceeded
even during Edwin Booths engagement in
this city. Mr.. Barrett was called before the
curtain twice at the conclusion of each act,
and as many as four times at the end of the
third act. Miss Gale, whose imper-
sonation of Claudia is charming piece of
dramatic work, aud Mr.. Weiles, who plays
Angelo with ah intelligent conception of the
part, were the recipients of frequent APP
plause The other members of the company
did good work. The music, both in the mag
nifcent bridal scene and in the equally SUI
perb cathedral setting, was we'll rendered.
The supernumeries and the madriga boys ac-
quilted themselves with credit, and it is sci.

SiOn of fleming Church PcWs

-
The March meeting of the CONGREGATIONAL
club was held last evening in the parlors of
the Plymouth church. Early in the evening
q supper was served by the ladies of the
church, after which the meeting was called
to order and ii. F. Hawley, Esq, OF Minneap-
oils, read the paper of the evening on the
subject OF Church Finances" He said one
half the time of most congregations was spent
in divising methods to raise the church debt
He dscountenanced the system of pew rent
ing as Gne which gave the renter ceiling of
proprietorshia, winch was embarrassing to
strangers. He thought the system of pledges
preferable. After the reading of Mr.. Haw-
leys paper, the subject was open for discus
sion. Judge Woods, of Minneapolis, thought
the system of free seats was unsatisfactory
He was Tirm believer in {. strict system of
bookkeeping, the same as in business life.
He looked for cooperation among churches
whereby The number of churches would be
reduced in small towns. H. H. Hart spoke
of the system now in use in one of the
churches of Cleveland. There the pledge
system had been adopted, and it had proven
satisfactory. George r. Dickinson, Of the
Atlantic Congregational church, was in favor
OF the pledge system, Under 1t bis church
had become seif-slpporting. Rev. L, ".
Campbell, Of Minneapolis. also favored the
subscription plan. He said that there were
men who wanted their preaching for Moth
ing, and those were the men who most needed
the preaching, and he wanted to get them to
come to church.
